Turtle Beach Battle Buds In-Ear Gaming Headset - Mobile & PC with 3.5mm, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, PlayStation – Lightweight, In-Line Controls, White/Teal

Over the ear does not do it for me. It is too hot. The band across the top of my head is real. I literally have a valley now. Earbuds are the logical solution, but noting really did it for me thus far. Microphone quality suffered. Not anymore.The mic quality here is excellent. It isn't studio quality, but I get good compliments in DayZ or Rust. I use the mic in conjunction with Nvidia Broadcast for noise cancelation. These have decent isolation, but I ham in a noisy environment and no raw mic can drowned out everything around me. The mic is amazing.The sound quality is good. You get decent directional audio, but not what you would get in a good over the ear set up. It is more than I need and I can tell where enemies are coming from along with gun shots. The bass is good, the highs are good, the mids are decent.It all comes down to fit here. If you don't get a good fit, you won't get good sound. I use the largest tips with the smallest wings. I do not need to push the buds in far. They seal outside of my canal. Sound was fairly terrible with no passive cancellation when using the smaller tips and pushing them in the canal. I get absolutely no fatigue and the buds stay in place until I want to remove them. I can do 10 hour sessions no problem. I can't say that everyone will have the same fit as we all have different ears.I highly recommend. Nothing comes close to these at 20-30$. These have spent a lot of time at 19.99 and 29.99.

Very comfortable and lightweight. I love the sound system and it's easy to use. Great if you want an alternative to headsets.

The build quality is meh, wasn't expecting too much though and feels decent enough for $30. It would be nice if the audio cable was detachable to be replaced but it's expected that something marketed at this range wouldn't do that.For the buds themselves, the audio quality is decent. Honestly, better than expected. The bass is a bit too prominent & slightly muddy in my opinion, the high end gets drowned out a bit but it doesn't have the annoying quality that some cheap earbuds do where mids are way too pronounced. Overall acceptable sound and I'm sure it sounds fine for gaming with footsteps being easier to hear.The microphone surprised me. It isn't amazing by any means but is detachable which is nice to see. It picks up my voice pretty well for only reaching partway down my cheek. Bendy, too, so you can position in whatever way sounds best. It definitely sounds like a gaming headset mic but not the worst out there. On Discord it sounded surprisingly clear even after Discord's noise suppression removed the sound of some fairly loud desk fans i had running.Overall these are worth it imo if you just need a pair of earbuds with a decent mic attached to play some games or chat online. If raw sound quality or listening to music is more of a priority then there are other earbuds out there for less money than these with better sounding drivers.I'm not super hopeful in regards to the longevity of this set as I've had poor experience with Turtle Beach build quality in the past, so I'll update this review if they end up falling apart.

I've had many turtle beaches ranging from $50 to $100 plus and these were just under $30 best purchase I've made. Highly recommend.

The sound and mic are decent. Not particularly high quality but loud and clear. This product fulfills a niche decently. There aren't a lot of things this small that have a mic near the mouth and don't need a battery or USB -- this combination of size, sound, and cabling is what I needed for traveling and taking zoom+discord calls. I might try some mild gaming with them, too. I also regularly use some AirPods Pro which is difficult comparison.. the airpods are *a lot* more technology and cost. But for those who have this as a reference point I'd say these turtle beach buds do better with their mic in competing noise, and this is almost entirely just because you can get it closer to your mouth. Otherwise, they're less comfortable (significantly) but usable. The airpods actually fail me when it comes to pairing them to a PC and trying to have a call around other people or even a mild breeze, their mic is just so poor in that scenario unless I'm quite loud which I don't want to be.So what do I really rate this thing?Listening sound quality: 3.5 / 5 (weighed upwards due to the price point)Speaking sound quality: 3.9 / 5 (surprisingly good for size/price? definitely imperfect)Comfort: 2.5 / 5 (worried about wearing these more than an hour...)Aesthetic: 3.0 /5 (look and feel cheap, extra plastic for a logo, but better than headphones, i guess?)Design: 2.5 (these rely on an attempt to be supported by your ear that is pretty weird, but is probably the only way to support the wire and their size... big compared to airpods, but tiny compared to full headphones)The total for my pair however is a 1/5 because they're absolutely used already. They've covered in dust, the box came with the stickers open and clearly having been reapplied a dozen times, and there's even a dent in the metal mesh that covers one of the speakers. I bought "new." That said I'm getting on a flight shortly with no time to return so I wiped them down and am keeping them.

I bought a turtle beach recon controller and needed some earbuds that worked with it. I got these as I didn't want over the ear headset. I had high hopes for this but I was ultimately let down. The biggest issue is the mic. I play Call of Duty and the biggest complaint is that people couldn't hear me. No matter what I tried, inline mic or the plug in mic, folks couldn't hear me. The mic is sketchy. However, the sound is decent for cheap earbuds and the fit of the earbuds is good. But the mic is a big problem with these.

These are my daily use headphones for work and gaming and I don't know how I'd survive without them. Great balance between portability and quality. Definitely a step up from my AirPods.
